Tourist Figures
The Oregon Trouble and In
formation Department Is a tighter
fitting name for the state's tour
ist fetching department just
now.
A columnist's story from Wash
ington, D. C. this week quoting
Deparement of the Interior fig
ures on tourist dollar returns of
different states makes Oregon
took like small potatoes,
Our tourist promotion agency
siaims tne figures quoted (1951
to 1955) were not up to date, were
not accumulated in a careful
manner by some states and have
the tang of chamber of commerce

Oregon's method of tabulating
tourists, as done by the Traffic
engineering Division of the Ore
gon Highway Department, are si
milar to those used by the widely
recognized studies done yearly by
tne Lurtis Publishing Company.
witn some states the tourist
count is comparable to letting
a utile boy make his own report
card. If Oregon followed the pat
tern of some states we could
count every communter over the
interstate bridge who works in
Portland some making four trips
a day, also the many customers
who shop in Portland (even for
groceries) to evade the Washing
ton sales tax.
Oregon classifies a tourist as
one who stays three or more days.
According to William M. Tug
man, Reedsport, chairman of the
Advisory Committee of the state's
tourist promotion agency Oregon
conierence and three wins ag
ainst no losses in the district
Heppner also holds a 3 and 0 rec
ord in the district, but does have
one loss in its Cayuse conference
record by virtue of its 20-19 de
feat last Friday by Maupin.
Dopesters give Stanfield the
edge over the Mustangs in their
Friday night get-together on the
rodeo field at 8 p.m., partially as
a result of Stanfield's 39 0 over
whelming of of Echo last Friday.
Heppner however, has shown ex
eeptiona ability and has had
little trouble dowining its other
opponents this season. The squad
was minus the services of one en
tire side of its starting line for
the Maupin game, due to flu and
colds which undoubtedly played
a big part in determining the
final score,
The Heppner squad under the
direction of Coach Jim Mallon has
been pointing for Friday's con
test and unless flu makes new in
roads the team is expected to be
at full strength. .
Prior to the Friday night game,
hte chamber of commerce has
made plans for a "quicky" noise
parade to encourage the squad
and advertise the game which
will be the final home tussle of
the season.

Soil Bank Forestry
Payments Possible
Without Plantings
Oregon farmers who earmark
marginal cropland for forest
plantings under the Soil Bank
program can receive payment for
the conservation practice even
though they are unable to get
trees to make the planting this
year.
Charles Ross, Oregon State col
lege extension farm forestry spe
cialist, says forest tree seedlings
in Oregon are being rationed to
stretch supplies among as many
persons as possibe. Even so, seed

up land now for the Soil Bank's
conservation reserve program
and, receive rental payments un
til trees are available. Sign-up be
fore April 1 will prevent any loss

Almost 584,000 cc's of tax pur
chased Salk vaccine have been
distributed fbcally in Oregon
since initiation of the National
Polio Vaccine Assistance act of
1955, the State Board of Health
revealed this week.
The tax-purchased vaccine is
restricted to persons up to the age
of 20 and expectant mothers. Sup
plies have been available through
private physicians, who may
charge for the Injection but not
for the vaccine.
Although the program has of
ficially ended throughout the Un
ited States, vaccine supplies on
hand or on order are expected to
keep the program rolling until
sometime next year in many
states.
Both the tax-purchased and
commercial vaccination programs
reportedly have been lagging
badly in Oregon since late last
spring, although numerous In
dustries have recently scheduled
mass clinics for workers. These
adult vaccinations usually are
performed by plant physicians
utilizing vaccine made available
by the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis.
Although Oregon has only re
corded 35 cases of polio this year,
compared with 115 for the same
period last year and a six-year
median of 231 cases, the State
Board of Health warned that not
enough of the population Is pro
tected yet to rule out the possibil
ity of outbreaks in future years.
Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state
health officer, said reports indi
cate protective levels are partic
ularly low among pre-school
children, those of high-school age,
and young adults.
He said about three-fourths of
all polio cases are In persons un
der the age of 20, and almost all
the remaining cases are in the 20
40 year age group.
The Morrow county health de
partment will continue its regu
lar monthly. Immunization clinics
through December, 1957, at which
the tax-free Salk vaccines will be
given to all expectant mothers
and children up to 20 years of
age. Vaccine has also been made
available for persons in the 20
40 year age group through the
local March of Dimes campaign.
After Dec, 1957, the health
department immunization pro
gram will be limited to the usual
school immunization program du
ring February, March and April
of each school year.
The date of the next health
department office Immunization
clinic will be Novemer 15 be
